January 13

As we ponder what God might be saying to us through the scriptures that were read today, I invite you to look at one of the video screens. In the center of the screen there are four dots. For the next minute, I invite you to stare directly at those dots.

As I move to the next screen, tell me what you see. If you have been staring at the dots, you should see a picture of a man that resembles what Jesus may have looked like. In the prior picture, he may have been hidden, but now you probably see him. This picture is more than just an optical illusion however. It is also a parable. For in that picture, we see our human plight. That is because try as we might to see God in the world around us, we often don’t. And even when we do manage to see God in the world around us, our sighting of Him is often blurry and fleeting. We heard this spoken about in the passage from the gospel of Mark.

Open Hearts. Open Minds. Open Doors.

We are pleased to have you “visit” our church. We would love to have you follow up by visiting us in person. Our mission is to “introduce people to Jesus Christ, to help them become faithful followers of Him, and to equip them to share His love with others,” and we’d be glad to help you in any part of that journey into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Feel free to browse around, contact us through the contact page, or call the church office for more information. And, of course, you would be most welcome to join us on Sunday mornings in worship. We have three services: traditional services are at 8:15 & 11 am, and there is a contemporary service in between at 9:30 am. Sunday School for all ages also occurs at 9:30 am.
